Probably simpler for you to get started at this point and ask forgiveness for minor mistakes rather than permission.

Git history/logs for files touched is often reliable for determining maintainers if not updated elsewhere yet.

Should I have to ping the maintainer beforehand to get their opinion
on opening an MR?

If so, any idea who I am supposed to ping for the Wayland MR? I know
Eric deals with console related stuff but I don't see any entry in the
MAINTAINERS file for the wayland driver maintainer.
